It is time to make bold progress on the issues that matter most: addressing our homelessness and addiction crises, ensuring access to affordable healthcare for all, building an economy that works for our working families, and, as wildfires ravage our coast, tackling the climate crisis head-on. As a critical care physician, I have spent the past two decades caring for the sickest Oregonians. Each day that I walk through these doors, I carry their stories with me.
